Caraval is about two sisters, Scarlett and Donatella, who run away from home to participate in a magical game called Caraval where fantasy blurs with reality. When Tella gets kidnapped by the Caraval Master as part of the game, Scarlett has to follow the clues to find her sister and win the game.

This book is one unexpected plot twist after another. When it says fantasy blurs with reality, that’s no joke! I couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake, what was the truth and what was a lie, and even what the whole point of the game was until the very end. Even then, it ends on a cliffhanger with more questions.
